twoset‘s sight reading skills are not to be doubted. They come in handy when they don’t practice before orchestra rehearsal
Ooh it’s Hermione from hogwarts
Expelliarmus
feels like roasting in here or is it just me 😆
@@Hepatic_Cardiomyopathy violahamora!!
@@missaisohee I don’t think it’s just you lol
as a non-musician sightreading feels like sorcery to me
You kinda have to think about it like reading a play out loud for the first time. You know what the words on the page are, but you don't necessarily know how to make them sound right, you don't know their exact meaning and sense yet. Being good at sight-reading is a skill you can work on.
Sight reading is just like reading a book :) It’s a language you have to practice, the more you read, the more natural it is. That’s how I explain it to my students
@@Loweene_Ancalimon i think of it as reading a book and writing the words at the same time
As a (non-classical) musician sight-reading is *still* sorcery to me... welp time to question my musicianship
sight reading isnt just for musical instruments
Once I was at an ABRSM violin exam. Because I was so nervous I said "sightseeing" instead of sightreading and the examiner looked at me like I was an idiot
Sightreading instead of sightreading?
Literally exact same word
@@olsirmonkey wtfh sorry I meant sightseeing
@@adf5001 That makes sense :)
Did you recover from your brain fart?
Oh dear 😆
@@olsirmonkey 'Pataphysics
Love how Brett's koala eyes get bigger the more difficult the piece is.
He wasn't even blinking in the last one 😂
There was no time to blink.
koala's eyes are tiny. Brett has large eyes. I don't get it.
@@marieindia8116 you didn't spoil yourself with some fanfic apparently lol
@@marieindia8116 6:53 bros eyes went from small to 😳 “I’m focusing”
Editor San is the G.O.A.T for pointing out mistakes which even they could not point out.
^^ fr
istg 😂
Editor san is ling ling 😳
Yessssssss
@@anarubrown4206 He edits 40 hrs a day
I adore how Brett's lo-fi has become the default "this is messed up" sound
this comment is underrated
Brett : Ultra focused face
Eddy : surprised pikachu face
The final piece in a nutshell
I love the moments from 11:47 to 12:08 Brett’s confusion, Eddy’s skepticism, Brett’s struggling to play it, then Eddy coming in to help with alternative fingering to play it. So beautiful and supportive!
@@londongael414 Hahahaha! That's because they already played something wrong earlier.
ah yes the return of “if I glue my face onto the score my sight-reading skills will skyrocket”
😂😂😂😂😂
Them teasing us with all the signs, the rose, the clock, the button and prelude... As if we could get any more excited for what is to come!
>:[[[[ what is it about i'm hella excited
@@Aya_riiia I think they're talking about a sequel to their tour storyline because it was left on a cliffhanger
Boy im excited for whatever fantasia is
I literally cannot wait
can we just respect th fact that they have proper captions- like bruh i use hearing aids and this is really useful because i don’t always wear mine
Yes me too!
Good to see the white wall back tho. Splitting the talent of two set violin.
And love to see sight-reading challenge.
Love you guys ❤
Until I read your comment I didn't even realise that they were having their old background
@@booksandmusic2526 Lol yeah. Maybe they only use their white wall when they whip their violins out.
They always use the white when standing. I like both their new background and this.
@@booksandmusic2526 Same here 🤣
11:36 I am very impressed about Brett's hitting those high notes perfectly, that's absolutely amazing, I would never be able to do that in a million years! Very good job Brett.
I am amazed that Brett hit all those harmonics in level 5😧
11:35 I see Brett's been practicing those harmonics, he's nailing them! Can't wait to hear Mendy 4mil!
Level 5 composers be like: "How many symbols would you like in the music sheet?" "Yes."
Then there's Ling Ling who can sightread with a blindfold
Yes he can "sightthink"
Never sight-reads. Lin Ling has already mastered all of the literature.
Twoset finally reunite with their violins!! I miss you guys playing so bad!! Even though it's sightreading, you can still clearly tell that they are professionally trained musicians!!
Edit: I have to admit, even tho I love all the reaction videos and such, Twoset with their violins or Twoset talking/educating us about classical music will always be my fav! Thanks for this mood boost when I'm sick and can only lay in bed these days...
So true 🤝🏻
Hi ! I didn't see you in the last video. Kinda concerned me ngl 😃
It's 3.75M already, I'm counting every day for the day we have the 4 Mil drop
@@Hi-hk5eg Wow thanks! I did leave a comment yesterday but I was super sick so I couldn't come up with a good comment so it sinks to the bottom I guess lol
@ArnavM72 We all need to practice more to make ling ling satisfied!
Brett's concentration face plus the loading animation when he shut down for a moment absolutely KILLED me! ROFLMAO!
Occasionally not practicing before piano lessons as a kid forced me to become a better sight reader because I didn’t want to disappoint my teacher with bad playing LOL
Same here!
I’m in a piano class (I’m a college music major and there are piano requirements for non-piano players) and the professor gives us repertoire to play and sight reading too. My friend played his piece for her, and she gave him pointers for how to work on the piece. Next class, he had made barely any progress, but he did the best in the whole class at sight reading and she called him out for not practicing his piece outside of class
Let’s go! I love when old challenges are reincarnated.
I woke up only for this video
Wow
Same 😂😂😂😂
My "sight reading" is more like "sight wait what was that again?"
It would be cool if they did another collab with Chloe doing impossible sight reading
yeah, this either needs Chloe or Hilary, i wanna know what the final levels are *supposed* to sound like
I was with a chamber group and we were doing the Mozart Gran Partita for 13 winds. One of either the clarinet players or basset horn players got suddenly sick. Day of the concert, the top clarinet player at the uni I was at basically sightread the performance
I maintain that Brett is a beast. My dude said "YOLO" and charged right in without hesitation! And he did much better on level 5 than I think anyone expected.
It’s EDDY
Can we just take a moment to appreciate Editor-San for not only showing us where they are in the sheet, but also pointing out exactly what the mistake is, and even translating the notes for us?
Editor-San is lowkey talented af to be able to hear these mistakes. Some of them, like 9:55 with the thirds going up... makes me wonder if they have perfect pitch to be able to hear that.
Mabye Brett and Eddy are helping? Eddy's perfect pitch probably helps. I'm not taking the shine from Editor-san, she/he is amazing, just mabye they are helping each other.
@@Altroante It's not that hard to spot the mistakes if you are used to reading music from the score, you don't need perfect pitch for that.
11:24 I am genuinely impressed by the fact that he hit the high notes perfectly first try
I'm convinced that Editar-San is either a REALLY trained musician, or he's just getting a lot of practice with a lot of things they've done over the years
I missed this content. Nothing like a sightreading challenge to have some fun and keep the practice motivation up! (Still laughing due to those sneaky Wieniawski pieces. Edit: You two made a really good job, nearly if not all those pieces seemed extra difficult to play given the context).
P.S: Expectations going up for the reveal.
Level 1:
0:46 Reiding - Air Varié
1:57 Elgar - Idylle
Level 2:
2:44 Joachim - Violino
3:49 Schumann, Clara - Leidenschaftlich Schnell
Level 3:
5:00 Wieniawski - Alla Salterella
6:06 Rode - Moderato
Level 4:
6:58 Reger - Moderato
7:37 David - Menuett
Level 5:
8:41 Reger - Grave
10:23 Wieniawski - Le Chant du Bivouac
I know I haven't put the full names of the pieces, but I didn't want this comment to be too dense and long. Sorry if my timings are slightly off.
do you know the piece eddy was playing in the outro??
@@lauraiwamoto204 I think that was 'Prelude,' by their very own Jordan He :)
That last level 5 sounding straight out of fantasia. I couldn’t stop picturing a winged pony stumbling around before learning to fly at the end 😂😂
TwoSet Violin are the best sight readers in the world! Those music being sight-read should feel most honored by TwoSet choosing to sightread them!
2nd that.
@@yukotsujimoto :-)
Watching the faces of Brett & Eddy as they try desperately to sight read the utter notely-nonsense that’s before them….!
Aahhhh a perfect Sunday afternoon of confusion, bewilderment, shock, incredulity and total wide-eyed amazement!
Thank you so much guys! That was a brilliant video
Brett's facial expressions should be immortalized into an emoji pack XD
Lmao the look on anticipation on both of their faces as they wait for the other to fk up is the epitome of friendship
Love how Eddy vibes to Brett's playing!
Twoset: The goal of music isn't just get through a piece without playing any wrong notes
Also Twoset: "We have to try and get through the whole excerpt without playing a single wrong note or rhythm!"
I love when they contradict themselves😆
P. S. Thanks for bringing back this old series, I enjoy these videos of you guys playing so much! They've even inspired me to work on my own sightreading skills too!😊🎵🎹
Not really contradicting though. Of course one wants to play a piece as perfect as possible. That is the aspiration, but in reality we all make mistakes and its just part of the deal. No reason to lower your standards though.
@@frqv I agree, but let me just add the fact that sight reading is all about reading all right, notes and rhythm. So they are not contradict themselves
True, both very good points
The look of "wtf" on Brett's face when he's playing and listening to some of these is fantastic. 😂
Ahhhh Eddy playing Prelude in the end and the iconic tour button hsvdjshs so hyped for wtvr is coming!!😭🥳
I woulda gave Brett a point for his level 5. It wasn't the right speed, but he was able to clean it up and had the correct notes.
If you combine the power of sightreading and the power of perfect pitch, you're the chosen one and deserve to be called Ling Ling 🙏
You forgot the 40 hour practice part
Yeah, without practicing 40 hours a day, there wouldn't be the technicality to play them beautifully! PRACTICE!
I was making fanart for twoset while watching their sightreading challenge video when a few seconds before it ended you guys dropped another one. can't wait to watch you guys play and suffer more!
Another video reminding us that they are actually professional musicians.
Brett playing level three rode was sooo legit!
Edit: level four for both of them was so great too! Amaazing!
I love Brett constantly dodging Eddy's bow haha
Please do more of these videos, TwoSet Button!
Watching Eddy get really into "Prelude" for 0.2 seconds has cemented my decision to have it played at my wedding 😭
The title could go with almost every piano piece!😂
Ikr
TwoSet trying to pronounce anything in German is always in equal measures funny and painful.
The original video is one of my favorite videos on this channel, glad to see TwoSet revamping old videos!
Woah woah I was just binge watching their videos!! 😂😂
So glad this challenge is back! Would love to see more of it
I have been rewatching the sight-reading videos these few days!!! Glad you guys bring it back!
Always impressed with your skill...
eddy playing prelude in the end + the button 😭 so excited for what they have in store ❤️
As someone who still has to count the notes one by one when I read music, I am screaming inside
I played that Elgar Idylle for my Grade 6 exam many years ago... needless to say, Brett's sightreading of it is better than I ever played it during exam prep 🙈
I love so much when they bring back their old series!!
btw all the hints at the end of the video? Are you announcing the new tour for this year? I remember you announced last year around this time too!!! Can’t wait to see what you guys are preparing for us 😏
Is this twoset from the past or why are they screeming YOLO like its 2010? :D
Hello, dearest lovelies, Brett & Eddy!
🥰🎻🎻🥰
Just don't get a copyright strike because of your beautiful playing. Haha 🤭
Have a beautiful weekend! 🤗🤗
It was soo funny watching Brett struggle on the fugue! You could tell how nervous he was 😭 Back with an amazing upload as always, thank you for the nostalgia twoset!
I’ve started Grade 2 ABRSM this year, but I’ve started playing piano 🎹 for 3 years now, and that’s how I got inspired to started ABRSM. Thanks Eddy and Brett.
It's great to see TwoSet upload a video!
I just love that all the sheet music has clearly been used and scribbled on and marked up. it's just a fun little detail. someone practiced a lot with that sheet music, to have marked it up so much. 🙂
I wish Brett's Lofi was my life's live soundtrack because when it hit in the video I immediately felt the same despair as them
I wish you two would try sight-reading my duets together... I'd say they are probably a level 3-4 but it would be very funny watching you play them!
So happy to see the return of the white background!! Twoset deserves an "A plus plus" for effort and sightreading. I love these performance videos.
Very impressive both Eddy and Brett! The pieces were difficult and you guys were able to add dynamics while sight reading. Awesome!
i'm gonna watch this to see if i can use their strategies at orchestra rehearsal
11:10 i love how eddy is so impressed by brett. i love these sight reading videos so much !!!!! also the end end was so funny with eddy playing the exit music LOL
This reminds me so much of myself sightreading my new parts for the upcoming concert. More than once my thoughts were 'WTF is this?' and I would look at my neighbour for help.
I love how they make me actually want to practice my instrument even when I don’t want to.
theres a hacker?
It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who makes crazy faces while sight reading but in piano. woops.
I used to think I was a somewhat musical person. After seeing level two I now believe that musicality in general will go up a fraction in the universe when I die. Much respect for even trying you guys!
I always love to hear that buzz sound whenever these two erred.
Really missed and love this kind of video❤️ thank you twoset for your great content and showing us your wonderful violin playing. And if you screw up, which is totally normal while sightreading, you just encourage other people to perform and mess up too. Thank you!
Best thing ever.... absolutely love this challenges🎻🎻🎻🤩
I love Max Reger's solo violin pieces and that some of them were featured here. Hopefully they can become more popular. I like his opus 42 a lot but it's not too available on TH-cam (it is on Spotify though).
Keyboard works are good too. I like his Bach!
Did he kind of 'recompose' Bachs pieces for solo violin? Because the chaconne looks equally hard lol. Probably deserves more recognition.
@@goldenesei8127 it may be. In his Bach variations for piano he basically took a motif from Bach and made insane things with it. Most of his music I think is a weird mix between early classical and late romantic. I myself hadn't even heard of him until one day I was scanning through Mark Andre Hamelin discography on itunes to find something to listen, and encountered his Reger recording. Was blown away by epicness)
Raining in Monaco, F1 race was delayed, then twoset uploaded a new vid. Lovely!
I love this type of videos because they teach me so much especially as a self taught musician.Thanks for your inspiration brett and eddy , love you guys!
Bro I’ve been waiting for these type of videos for so long
I love your sight reading challenges! Also I'm very excited for whatever you're about to release.
Yay! its back!!!! I love how you guys are bring back old challenges!!!
This is a good day! I love the sight reading videos so much and it feels I've been longing for them to come back for ages.
For those who haven't today, I just want to say.. PRACTICE NOW!!
So glad you guys brought back the series!!
just can’t wait for the new piece to drop!!!
TwoSet violin: We're the best sight readers in the world. Music being sight read: we are eternally indebted to TwoSet violin.
I Love your videos. Thank you for posting all the time during these hard times👏👏👏💙💜💗🖤
EDDYS SCREAM AT 5:48 CAUGHT ME OFFGUARD NGL IVE NEVER HEARD A HUMAN SOUND LIKE THAT 😭😭
I kept asking myself why am I so invested in twoset, i am not a musician don't know anything about music but I can watch them all day....but I do know that I love them so much🥰
That was SO brave. Well done!
Another flex video for twoset, showing the world how great they are!
Ling ling could sightread, read, and watch a movie all while preforming heart surgery at the same time
Been rewatching the ABRSM sightreading and exam challenge videos on repeat, so glad I got new content to add to the rotation~
The best type of video which is helping to improve your hearing. Look at the notes and just listen. The best way for me. Thanks for your useful and entertaining (no doubts) content. Love you
Brett's sightreading face is adorable. 🥺
Petition for two set make a video : unpopular opinion in classical music
I've just noticed the button at the end, you guys keep dropping easter eggs huhhh I'm excited for whatever it is
